Effectively, but how to monitor that I respect, for example, a
requirement of 5Mbps with a chip... I'm already sending data at

#define SPI_BUS_SPEED 5000000
spi_device->max_speed_hz = SPI_BUS_SPEED;

So does this settings ensure it to always be at 5Mhz?

I will try to test it by settings it to higher speed to see what happen
ex: 48000000 (48Mhz)
